I have problems with PM's on this site, as they do not accept Firefox which is what I use all the time. Otherwise I have to jump thru all kinks of other hoops to utilize an alternative internet provider software.

The best way to contact me is thru regular good old traditional email,..

Brian, check your PMs, as I've sent you a link to information related to your quest for info on the lumber industry.

I find that books that combine industries with railroads to be the most interesting.  As modernity advances, these types of books need to keep up, IMO.

The NMRA has been selling its own reprint of this book for some years now.

Walthers's book on lumber/timber is also a good one; out of print at Walthers but not an uncommon find at swap meets.

I'm investigating logging subjects to help with developing a logging scene on my new layout. I ran across this book source that goes WAY BEYOND the info I need, but it is a very significant resource.

....a very comprehensive book about Timber,...and its a free download
